The John Kreese Dojo Detail That Bothers Cobra Kai Fans

While the ownership change provides a fresh setting for Cobra Kai season 3, some fans on Reddit have pointed out that Kreese's hostile takeover plan has plenty of holes. 

One viewer noted that while Kreese used Johnny's troubles with the landlord to his advantage, these came from the fact that Johnny was unwilling to pay more rent — something that Kreese should be equally unable to do. "Kreese is living in a homeless shelter. He has no money. How did he get the landlord to like him more than Johnny?" the Redditor wrote. 

They also shared that they felt the legalities of the ownership change are dodgy at best, arguing, "The first season established that Johnny did all the paperwork to be in business. So he owns Cobra Kai. It's his studio. Kreese can't just make a deal with the landlord and boom, Cobra Kai is his." 

Others have taken notice of the situation as well, but decided to pass on even thinking about it. As user u/Fellums2 put it, "I decided it's just a plot hole I'll need to overlook." 

Then again, some feel that this apparent plot hole might actually signal bigger clouds on the horizon. Redditor u/LeeF1179 raised the possibility that the impoverished Kreese's sudden rise might foreshadow the arrival of his wealthy friend, The Karate Kid Part III villain Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith). They wrote, "One theory that someone suggested is that Kreese may have obtained strong financial backing from Terry Silver, the villain from KK 3. I kinda like that idea, to be honest. We will have to wait and see." 

All in all, the mystery behind Kreese's dojo takeover is yet another great reason to eagerly wait for Cobra Kai season 3.
